I know there are a million out there, but if someone has a favorite
and a favorite place to buy it, I'd like the tip.
I'd want one tough enough to stand the wind while the bike is
being towed on a trailer if such a beast exists.
Thanks

Seems like a cover on a bike thats going down the road would do more
harm than good. I dont know how you could ever get one on tight
enough so as not to be whipping around and chaffing up the paint.

Yes its called an enclosed trailer. Available at Home Depot or your
neighborhood trailer yard. Starting at $1200.
Fabric covers WONT
hold up to winds and will do more damage than good as DS stated

dumbasses like me, and I know I'm not alone.

Entropy you really are better off leaving it uncover for a trip on a
trailer. Anything you put on it will flap around somewhere. Or buy
the trailer of course.

Did any of you guys (or gal) try Geza covers. I'm happy with the
ones I have for my bikes.

OK, before I get flamed for posting a dead link (their site is down
at the moment) you could try calling them at 703-934-5453. They give
great phone and their service and response time are
excellent.

This suggestion may not be what you want, but I don't think you
would mind being stuck with a BikeBarn. http://www.thebikebarn.net/
It's a hoop and coated-canvas affair; you would want to bolt it
down to the trailer. I have one sheltering my bike, it was an
alternative to a self-store unit. The directions were infuriating,
but the result was worth the effort.
The standard size fits fine.

It has a vent flap on each side. You may be able to just
recognize it, at the peak of the ribs. You can raise it, and hold it
up with a Velcro tab.

Yes...a trailer is a good investment. This one hauls cars too.

I guess I should have paid better attention to the previous posts
(looking to tow). WARBIRD, is that a Logan trailer?
